Repulsion

Born To Hand Jive
Catherine Deneuve
Repulsion 
While on Facebook yesterday an app came through to plug in your birth year to find out what was the big horror movie at that time. So for the thrill and chill of it, I did just that. Well guess what came up from the great beyond? Roman Polanski's Repulsion starring Catherine Deneuve, oh alright, the year was 1965.

Here is the synopsis:

"A sex-repulsed woman who disapproves of her sister's boyfriend sinks into depression and has horrific visions of rape and violence."

While I did not see it the year it was out, duh, I did happen to view it in my twenties, not knowing it was the big fright fest of the year of my birth. I knew that being born a snake was cool, now it has been solidified.

It is time for another viewing of this classic, with me being older and wiser. While I liked it when I first saw it, I believe this is a film, like so many, that gets better with life experience.

Besides who can resist the eternal beauty of Deneuve and the Directing mastery of Polanski?

Yeah, I thought not...only four more days until Halloween!

Hey Pig, Happy New Year!

When Pigs Talk
Babe
Today marks the Chinese New Year and guess what? It is the year of the pig...oink! I am the year of the snake, make of that what you will. But today it's time to get piggy with it!

Of course my horse there is always a pig that makes me nostalgic Babe. I remember being extremely reluctant to view a movie about a talking pig despite it's critical acclaim. But eventually I caved and did it. As in watched it.

With a mighty "baa ram ewe" I loved it! "Yes" the talking pig made me eat trough.

Thus in honor of this piggy year I wanted to tip my _____ the blank is yours to fill in and fantasize as you wish. To the ultimate pig...I've got you Babe
